Important

As of November 30, 2023, the previous Amazon SageMaker Studio experience is now named Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic. The following section is specific to using the Studio Classic application. For information about using the updated Studio experience, see Amazon SageMaker Studio.

With Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic notebooks, you can change the notebook's image or kernel from within the notebook.

The following screenshot shows the menu from a Studio Classic notebook. The current SageMaker AI kernel and image are displayed as Python 3 (Data Science), where Python 3 denotes the kernel and Data Science denotes the SageMaker AI image that contains the kernel. The color of the circle to the right indicates the kernel is idle or busy. The kernel is busy when the center and the edge of the circle are the same color.
